Carpathian Forest to norweski wymiot pogrywający prosty i skoczny Black Metal w wolnych i średnich tempach. Zespół powstał na początku lat 90-tych XX wieku i jest obecny na scenie już od ponad 25 lat. Początkowo teksty traktowały o naturze, zimie i innych pierdołach, a w późniejszym okresie o jeszcze większych pierdołach. Zespół swego czasu był dość popularny. Ostatnia płyta została wydana w 2006 roku i od tego czasu cisza, ale w dalszym ciągu pozostają aktywni koncertowo. Norweski zespół odwołujący się w nazwie do Karpat to taki sam absurd jak niemiecki Viking Metal (za wyjątkiem Falkenbach), ale co tam - grają prosto, skocznie i z przytupem.
